What Her Heart Remembered Lyrics - The Promise - Michael Card

Out in the stable yard 

She sees a glow 

Could it be angel light? 

How would she know? 

Shepherds stand wondering 

Afraid to come in 

But the baby that's born tonight 

Will free them all 

To never fear again 

As He lies in a cattle trough 

She kneels by His side 

Sweet baby breathing 

Soft infant sighs 

Soft sounds of swallowing 

As soft fingers part 

Marvelous memories 

She pondered then and hid them in her heart 

Like a good 

Mother would 

Sh learned His cries 

If He'd awake 

With a bellyache 

From hunger or fright 

But now and then 

Sometimes when 

The dark would descend 

He would weep 

A dark so deep 

For all her love 

She couldn't comprehend 

(repeat) 

Her warm loving carpenter 

His strong gentle hands 

His dark and bewildered eyes 

Can they understand? 

That this Baby she's given him 

Is theirs for a time 

In truth came to give Himself 

The Treasure and the 

Ransom of mankind
